the stem cell Hope<br />
How stem cell medicine can change our lives<br />
no one is better poised to report the facts about stem cell research than alice<br />
Park. During her fifteen-plus years covering health and medical issues for Time<br />
magazine, Park has seen the limitations of drugs and pharmaceutical products<br />
in the fight against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and alzheimer’s. but what if<br />
tissues damaged by disease could be replaced with a patient’s own healthy cells?<br />
Park shares a compelling history of stem cell research, from the personal<br />
tragedy that fueled the founding of the Harvard stem cell institute to the<br />
Japanese researcher who recently coaxed stem cells from mouse skin. Destined<br />
to become the go-to book on the subject, The Stem Cell Hope masterfully<br />
chronicles one of modern medical science’s most exciting frontiers.<br />
“A tour de force of storytelling.”<br />
—Sharon Begley, author of Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain<br />
“Infuses a difficult scientific subject with intrigue, passion, and fun.”<br />
—Michael F. Roisen, M.D., coauthor of the YOU series<br />
